The number one name in poker, the World Series of Poker, is expanding in the international community. Italy is now the home of a World Series of Poker onlien gaming network.

Partnered with Microgame, Caesars Interactive Entertainment Inc. iwll bring online poker with the World Series of Poker brand to the European Union.

Italian gambling laws have made it so companies can launch their site in Italy, provided they operate solely within the Italian borders. Currently, Full Tilt and PokerStars are the biggest names in poker in Italy.

According to a press release, Microgame and the World Series of Poker will “work together exclusively to market the WSOP brand in Italy, both with online and offline poker tournaments and promotion.

The WSOP online poker room will be co-branded with the “People’s Poker” network, which currently contains 120 sites.

Caesars, previously the Harrah’s corporation, already offers a WSOP branded poker room in the United States, but only in a free form – real money gambling may not take place due to restrictions regarding online gambling.
